[n Business
n Board Rules
|| House trailers will not be
permitted in either the busiI
ncss or the fire district of
. Warrenton under an ordinance
! passed by the board of town
| commissioners Monday night.
The ordinance will not af}
feet any operators of such
. vehicles now existing so long
:as the present occupancy
! status is not changed, but present
owners will not be permitted
to either sell or lease
J such vehicles.
The discussion which led to
j the passage of the ordinance
! was precipitated by a request
! from Dan Limer, who operates
a news stand on Main street
across from the court house.
Limer who now lives in a
trailer near Hall's Spring on
the Macon road had sought
permision to move his trailer
to a lot he owns on Main
| street next to Puritan Cafe
II and had also requested that
j he be permitted to connect
I with the town's water and
j sewer lines. Limer was not
i present at the meeting.
J The town has had on its
I books for a number of years
1 an ordinance forbiding the
I construction of any buildings
| in the fire district unless
! such buildings are of masonry
feonstruction In two instances
in years past the ordinance
has. been circumvented by
placing wheels on the buildings
so that they might be
moved in the event of fire.
Under this guise the late Ed
j Gillam once operated an ofI
fice on the lot where Hunter
Drug Store now is situated,
i The second case was that of
Dan Limer whose news stand
is on wheels
The commissioners now take
?J* a dim view of such practices,
niS although they said that Limer
will be permitted to continue
ftof-pi ,0 operate his stand in its
, present quarters. They also
said that if the trailer were
> the kind of rep- connected to sewer and water
to which they are i,ncs that it would hardly be
